Joplin, MO

For more than fifty years, CIY has always found the best ways to create moments that inspire Kingdom Work. Methods change but the hope of the Gospel remains the same. And even as the needs of the local church change, CIY is still working on Her behalf. By amplifying the call of Christ on student lives, three generations of servants, workers, missionaries and church leaders have responded to that call. Today, CIY works in partnership with the local church, providing more than 100 annual program events for students and leaders across the United States and in more than ten foreign countries.

Grow in Prayer and Generosity.

Three ways to pray right now:

1

CIY We have two big goals. To call 30,000 students into vocational ministry by 2032 (5,187 last year.) and to train 300,000 young people to share their faith by 2032. Please pray for students to embrace this challenge and step into calling. 

2

Pray for the opportunities in front of CIY that also come with obstacles. CIY has grown rapidly in the last 5 years. We need to be able to launch even more new events in 2027 (we did 9 in 2026). Pray that God would provide what is needed to expand yet again.

Pray for our staff as we hit our busiest time of the year. This includes our full-time staff, but extends to our event staff, contracted team, and volunteers who all jump in to make it possible for students to have a moment with Jesus that changes everything.
